Anarcho Capitalism

"Anarcho-capitalism (often considered a form of market anarchism) advocates the elimination of the state; the provision of law enforcement, courts, national defense, and all other security services by voluntarily-funded competitors in a free market rather than by taxation; the complete deregulation of nonintrusive personal and economic activities; and a self-regulated market. Anarcho-capitalists argue for a society based in voluntary trade of private property (including money, consumer goods, land, and capital goods) and services in order to maximize individual liberty and prosperity, but also recognize charity and communal arrangements as part of the same voluntary ethic.[1] Though anarcho-capitalists are known for asserting a right to private (individualized/non-public) property, non-state common property can also exist in an anarcho-capitalist society.[2] For them, what is important is how property is acquired and transferred; they believe the only just way to acquire property is through voluntary trade, gift, or labor-based original appropriation, rather than through aggression or fraud."

What this article doesn't mention is anarcho-capitalists are also imbeciles. Unless anarchism has a leftist element, its Thatcherism / Bushism with a fancy name.
